Book Description
Excerpt from The Green Carnation He slipped a green carnation into his evening coat, fixed it in its place with a pin, and looked at himself in the glass, the long glass that stood near the window of his London bedroom. The summer evening was so bright that he could see his double clearly, even though it was just upon seven o'clock. There he stood in his favourite and most characteristic attitude, with his left knee slightly bent, and his arms hanging at his sides, gazing, as a woman gazes at herself before she starts for a party. The low and continuous murmur of Piccadilly, like the murmur of a flowing tide on a smooth beach, stole to his ears monotonously, and inclined him insensibly to a certain thoughtfulness.

Book Description
Excerpt from Carnations and Pinks As a recognition of the distinctness of the Carnation groups, I besought the co-operation of the present authors in the writing of this volume. They need no introduction. The name of Mr. Douglas is as inseparable from Carna tions as Dean Hole's from Roses. He has raised them, cultivated them, exhibited them, and written about them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Carnation Manual The Committee of the National Carnation and Picotee Society (southern Section) feel that no apology is needed for the issue of this little Manual upon the cultivation of the 'carnation, the improvement and development of which is the sole purpose of their incorporation. They are aware that other works of much authority and literary value have been published on the same subject, but they believe that in none has the general information required by the amateur been presented in so simple and useful a form as in the present work. In it will be found papers from some of the most successful growers of the day, detailing the methods pursued by them from the first impregnation of the seed-pod to the final staging of the owers upon the Exhibition tables.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Carnation, How to Grow It: Illustrated The growing of carnations was commenced merely as an occupation by means of which to while away time which hung heavily upon my hands. As a consequence of being ordered out of business for the purpose of recuperating impaired health, and at first little thought was had of continuing it as a permanent employment. However, as the work progressed it became more and more interesting, which interest was especially increased by the delightful occupation of hybridizing and producing new varieties; and I am now quite satisfied that the venture has contributed largely to the recovery of my health, and if nothing more had been accomplished, the time, energy and capital expended have been well repaid. But I make free to believe that my efforts in assisting in the development of American carnation culture have been of material aid to the craft. It is unquestionably true that many carnations are now grown where one was grown before, and larger and finer blooms are produced and sold at higher prices than was the case twelve years ago; and, in addition, the general public now hold the Divine Flower in greater esteem, and to this result I am proud to believe that my quota of assistance has contributed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Carnations, Picotees and Pinks: Second And; Revised Edition A new work concerning the Carnation needs no apology. Manuals have been written in the past about the same beautiful flower, but during recent years many varieties have been raised, and new groups formed, to give interest to the family of which the pretty Dianthus Caryophyllus, happy in its crevices of the lichen-stained castle wall, is the ancestor. The Carnation must play its rightful part in the garden, and not be relegated to the greenhouse, to yield its flowers merely for general or personal decoration. It is a great garden flower, faulty in some ways, perhaps, but with faults that the raisers of the future must correct. Poor colours, split flowers, absence of perfume, and weakly growth are not desirable attributes. If this work should kindle still greater enthusiasm for the Carnation, rich in its varied colouring and as sweet as the rose itself in fragrance, it will not have been written in vain.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Perpetual Flowering Carnation: With a Chapter on the American System of Carnation Culture We have to thank France for the introduction of the first Perpetual Carnation, which is a distinct race from, and must not be confounded with, the Border or 'malmaison Carnation. Both these sections must have their annual period of rest, but the Perpetual Carnation is perpetual - growing, and perpetual flowering if slightly protected in winter.
